I've got two words for the UAW: Chapter Eleven.
Seriously. Union members "working" for the Big Three get at least double the wages of other people (actually) working in the same position in a non-union company.
And the reason I cast aspersions upon the work ethic of UAW members is that many of these so-called workers don't actually do any work but they still collect full pay and benefits. This practice effectively adds about two thousand dollars to the price of every automobile offered for sale by the Big Three.
Our socialist overlords are rushing into a bailout of the Big Three because it is in fact a bailout of the UAW. Ayn Rand used to call this phenomena Pull Politics and the practitioners the Aristocracy of Pull.
And as with every other aristocratic set-up its the peasants like us who are compelled to pay for the maintenance and upkeep of those who deem themselves (because no one else will) better than us mere mortals.
What are your questions on this block of instruction?

Just because someone else is holding the gun doesn't change the fact that someone is engaged in the act of robbery.
